I found your courses really enjoyable and useful.

After attending Basic First Aid and Emergency Life Support courses.

I can’t believe how much I learnt in 3 hours! Loads of hands-on practice. I thoroughly recommend this course to anyone who would like to be more confident in an emergency.
Teresa Nicholson – Law Lecturer and parent

I learnt a lot and hope I don’t have to use it, but I know now if a situation arises I can handle it.

Training was - absolutely wonderful, more than worth the money!

I enjoyed the course very much, there was enough input about everything and I will certainly recommend it to my friends.
Dr Hossain: Lavender Hill Surgery

I really enjoyed the friendly environment that Emma created during the training, there should be more comprehensive training like this.
Mr Intkhab Mehboob: Open Door Surgery, Boundaries Road  

Very interesting course covering First Aid in an emergency, I particularly enjoyed learning about resuscitating babies and would recommend this course to all my friends.
Dr Mittal: Open Door Surgery, Boundaries Road

Every parent and prospective parent should be prepared for an emergency, and this course was full of anecdotes to help you remember what could, one day, save a child’s life.
Rosie McMellin, Fund Manager and parent

The AED and CPR course was very user friendly, appropriate and fun for all members of the Practice team. Relevant material with a useful emphasis on practicality.
Henrietta Brook (GP) Lavender Hill Group Practice

I enjoyed the informal setting - the practical work with the dummies and the clear diagrams and information sheets combined with the flexibility of teaching. I found Emma very approachable and the delivery of her subject was excellent.
Derriana Graham - Activities Co-ordinator at Highview Care Services.

I thoroughly enjoyed the day and feel I learnt so much more from Emma in the couple of hours than I have learnt previously on three full day First Aid courses. Emma's teaching was excellent and she used numerous real life examples and hands-on practice which reinforced the basic principles and made them impossible to forget.

All the participants were fully involved and the trainer was very confident and fluent.
Dr A Kangatharan

I enjoyed the lot and particularly about how to use the Defib.
Mohammad Shirazubdullah Tooting South Surgery

We enjoyed every bit and I would highly recommend this course to everyone.
Dr M Shiraz

Good, enthusiastic and to the point
Dr J Gray, Lavender Hill Group Practice

It is really practical, very educational and potentially life saving - forget what you see on the T.V. this is real!
Alexio - Youth Worker at Balham Baptist Church

I wanted to update my first aid knowledge and First Aid for Life was willing to create an affordable course to fit our exact requirements - we were about to embark on six months of visiting hospitable and inhospitable environments around the world. I arrived with a scattered knowledge of first aid and left feeling confident that I was better placed to prevent misfortune and able to increase my, and more importantly my wife's, chances of survival if bad things happened.

Very easy to understand. Super explanations. Practical and useful:
Dr Anna Benson - Thurleigh Rd Practice, Balham

All the participants, including the doctors told me it was the best Life Support course they have attended. Everyone was full of chat about their experience and most enthusiastic about you and your teaching skills - thank you.

The Broomwood Hall Parents Association have held a series of First Aid courses, through First Aid for Life. They have been extremely popular and Emma Hammett is an excellent teacher. The courses are very informative and Emma’s knowledge is superb. Everyone who has done the courses have really enjoyed them and most importantly feel more confident dealing with accidents etc. We highly recommend 'First Aid for Life’

I thought the course this morning was excellent. It was pitched at exactly the right level and it covered a lot of ground without becoming confusing or repetitive. I'm not sure that I have any particular suggestions for changes, as the course was exactly what I was looking for and I learnt a lot of extremely useful skills. I will definitely recommend the course to friends. Thanks and best wishes.
Alan McNee

I have attended many different first aid courses throughout my career and can honestly say that I gained more from 3 hours of your tuition than all of the other courses put together! It was a very valuable way to spend a mid week evening after a long day - thank you so much! I will be sending my husband on your course as soon as we return from Australia and will be recommending you to all my friends and colleagues; in fact I have already started!!
Many, many thanks.
Felicity Petersen Wimbledon

Thank you Emma for the first aid course held at Balham today I really enjoyed it. You were very informative, engaging and at the same time entertaining. I only wish there were more of these courses available.
Chris Moszuti

Thanks so much for today. I found your training session really rewarding. I work as a trainer in the beauty industry, so understand your side too. You were never boring, your tone of voice was engaging so I did not feel sleepy and my mind didn't wander! It was good having the laminated visuals and much better not to be following powerpoint handout notes, as I think they are a distraction. I liked watching the video as it cut the session up somewhat. Coming back to subjects was really important as it helped the learning process. I liked the cards at the end and doing them in a hurry made it a little more like the real thing! Thanks so much again, this is a skill I am very happy to have gained. Best regards,
Kitty from blipcreative.com

Just a quick note to say how much I enjoyed the First Aid for Life course I attended on Thursday 26th February 2009. The course was both informative and fun and pitched at just the right level for someone like myself who was extremely rusty in terms of my knowledge of emergency first aid. The course was comprehensive covering all the main areas and I particularly liked the flexibility you were able to provide in terms of course content. I would be very interested to know future course dates as I plan to send our nanny on the course. Kind regards
Shaun Claydon

Thanks so much for a great day. You made the course so enjoyable and us so comfortable in your home and we feel very confident in what we have learnt. Your services will be highly recommended and we will definitely come back. Best wishes

Dear Emma, You are such a wonderful person and your teaching is one of the best I have enjoyed for years, all courses I have attended have never given me so much knowledge.
Dankay

I particularly enjoyed this course - much more than I anticipated as it was thoroughly relevant, informative and engaging. It was enlightening to learn that helping and perhaps even saving a person's life is far easier than I had imagined.
Maja Griffith, Mother of 2 young boys (age 10 months and 4 years)

With next to no knowledge of first aid and a predisposition to fainting at the sight of a scratch the course proved both invaluable and memorable. I hope that I will never have to use any of the things we learned but if it came to it I feel so much more prepared especially for CPR, burns, bleeding, choking and fitting. Thank you.
NCT parent

Dear Emma, we wanted to say how great we thought the course was last Tuesday evening. We've both done first aid courses before but not since having our daughter. Doing your course was much more than a refresher for us - it has made us both much more confident that we'd know what to do in an emergency - although obviously we very much hope that we don't have to use it!
We've already been recommending to friends that they go on one of your courses so hopefully lots more people will be learning from you.
Best wishes,
Nicola Sung & Damien Wasylkiw

Emma, I wanted to thank you for a very well structured and extremely useful first aid course last Friday. I have learnt an awful lot and feel that I am now well equipped to act in the event of emergencies. Our group was small enough to allow good interaction and I enjoyed the fact you used real life examples throughout the course.
I would now like my partner to attend one of your courses
Many thanks, Best wishes
Christele

I came along to your class at Harrisons on Wednesday night and just wanted to let you know that I thought that it was very useful. Really clear and helpful and I certainly feel a lot more prepared to deal with an emergency that I did before - although obviously hoping that one won't arise! I was really impressed that it covered such a wide range of situations in which first aid might be needed.
Abigail - Clapham NCT

A big thank you for an excellent course yesterday - I got a great deal out of it. Thanks and best wishes
Vicky Denning

Thorough grounding, friendly atmosphere, professionally taught. Real life situations - makes actions easier to remember.
Scarlet Long

Thank you so much for the class. I found it truly terrifying, but incredibly useful. Your presentation - matter-of-fact, yet with warmth and some humour was a great complement. While it is a lot to take in, I do think it's given a good foundation with which (with the book) to work upon. I will recommend to my new mommy friends. Thank you.
Sharon Coey

I just wanted to say thank you again for an excellent course last night. We both found it really useful and very reassuring - while we of course hope that we will never have to use any of it (!) I feel far more prepared for any situations that may arise.
You covered everything that I had hoped that you would and having the booklet to take away means that we can review it at our leisure which is really helpful. You also gave us lots to think about as Rowan becomes increasingly active - in particular the idea of having useful phone numbers etc on a card ready for action was simple but great and not something that we would necessarily have thought about doing ourselves. I will certainly be passing your cards around to the rest of my NCT group!
Best wishes and thank you again
Victoria Harris

Overall it was a perfect course, the atmosphere, the venue, the opportunity for us to "add things" to the course that we wanted to know about. I would recommend your course to anyone with confidence.
Many thanks again for the great day.
Beata

Thank you for the course last night. I have spoken to my fellow cycling instructors and they all really enjoyed the course. Heather said she learnt more from you in 3 hours than the St John Ambulance course she attended over 3 days.
Fred Ellis

Emma, thank you so much for your course. It was great to cover all the basics of first aid for babies and children in just three hours in the comfort of a friend's home. I now feel much more confident about my ability to handle a medical emergency and I highly recommend your course to all new parents. Cheers,
Pauline

Dear Emma course was excellent, pitched at exactly the right level and everyone found if very useful. Thank you very much
Katie

Thank you for taking such good care of Ewelina, she was / is sooo happy she passed and thought the day was great. Thank you again

Thank you so much for Friday it was a really useful course and i felt like i learnt an awful lot which i hope i won't put into practise that often. Thank you again. Kind Regard,

Mny thx for the really excellent 1st aid course last night - it was extremely informative and I went home and immediately lifted those pesky dishwasher tablets out of reach.............

A fantastic First Aid course that everyone should do in order to be prepared. Very clear and hands-on so you know exactly what you are doing.
Linda Scott-Clash

Down to earth, no nonsense course that addressed all the major issues. No one was ever made to feel stupid and it was actually fun!
Brigid Gardner

The Paediatric course was really thorough and Emma was really knowledgeable and patient.

Very relaxed, friendly teacher and group and lots of fun!
